Chrysanthemums were loved by the people of Edo not only for their beauty, but also as a symbol of longevity. The fragrance is smooth, refreshing, and invigorating.

The gardeners of Komagome and Sugamo near Edo are said to have sparked the chrysanthemum craze of the Edo era. Fond of the fancy and spectacular, Edodwellers loved the beautiful and fragrant flowers, which were displayed or fashioned into various shapes. Chrysanthemums were believed since ancient times to prolonglife, and during the Edo Period the Chrysanthemum Festival became a yearly event where people chrysanthemum sake infused with medicinal blossoms. The smooth,refreshing scent of chrysanthemum will delight you as it did the denizens of old Edo.

I have tried a few others in the Oedo-Koh (Pine and Aloeswood) and other lines, and so far I like this one best. It's a lovely smell.

Doesn't burn with a traditional incense smell--this is a true Japanese incense with little wood burn scent. Very beautiful. My favorite in this like is the Cherry Blossom, which is above and beyond. But all of them smell nice. This one is floral but not overwhelming, definitely recommend.
